I’m back in Berlin after taking holiday in the UK, in London, North Berwick, and Edinburgh.

We didn’t actually spend enough time in Edinburgh and got picky about what shows to see – things seem less worthwhile when they give you free tickets, but did see one wonderful physical/dance thing – Rumble, by a German outfit, actually with some German dialog. It was a hip hop Romeo and Juliet, but far better than you’d expect from that formula and the dodgy name. It was properly choreographed, with humour and appropriate use of music and projections. I really liked that the styles had been fully europeanised. I grinned lots.
